recommendations of your own please put them in the comments below so without further Ado in no
particular order are my 10 recommendations for where to eat in Athens Greece so we're
gonna start here at Atlantikios in the Psyri area Atlantikos is known for being the place to go
for affordable delicious seafood and traditional Greek food so today was the special was the mussels
yeah then we dug into some fried seafood which
this plate contained fried shrimp fried sardines fried squid oh man
so we didn't realize how big the portions were gonna be so yeah we overdid it we
ordered way too much food but it was all really delicious this is obviously the seafood pasta
what I liked most about this dish is it didn't have a ton of sauce it was very
lightly seasoned you could taste the noodles you could taste the seafood it was fantastic
oh and of course, we had to try the grilled fish
so when they say that this place is known for a portable delicious
The seafood they are not lying so we had a Greek salad we had the fried seafood we
had the mussels we had the seafood pasta and two grilled fish oh yeah
and all accompanied by a couple glasses of wine, our bill was just under 60 Euros
next up to Mavro Provato in English Black Sheep located in the Pagrati district
the black sheep provides a warm and intimate Ambiance serves up superb traditional Greek
cuisine. we started with the classic Greek salad and fresh steamed mussels
then we ordered the Lamb with a side of potatoes and a Cheesy rice risotto
the lamb also came with a side of mustard sauce
foreign
so far our wonderful meal including a bottle of wine, our total bill was about 60 Euros
next up OIKEIO aesthetically this establishment is warm cozy delightful honestly I want to move in
earning Michelin status they serve authentic Mediterranean Greek food.
the service was fantastic we didn't have a reservation but
they still made room for us even on a busy evening
we enjoyed the classics souvlaki and lamb both very delicious
ever since I got here I didn't know I would like love it so much
heaven
dinner for two at a Michelin status restaurant was under 60 Euros
so here we are Tavern to Thoma this is genuinely one of my favorite experiences
the cuisine is traditional Greek food and there is no menu the owner and Chef will let you know
what is available for the day after he welcomes you to the restaurant come on top of it again
we opted for the fried squid fried sardines and the stuffed cabbage accompanied by the house wine
oh that's delicious yes the interior is a little unassuming but if you're
visiting during the summer months enjoy the Charming outdoor Garden
I loved meeting the owner he was so lovely and sweet and so attentive to help us decide on what
we wanted to eat there's just something to say about the hospitality and that will forever stay
with me. so with all that amazing food and drinks included we left there for about 30 Euros now for
Fine ess Smokehouse, a road trip across the U.S inspired this culinary experimentation Fine Mess
Smokehouse was voted one of the best restaurants in Greece in 2020 and it's well deserved
we started with the duck cones which was duck breasts wrapped in cute little cones
then we sampled their take on Chicken and Waffles
for our main course, we enjoyed the gentleman's mac which was
mac and cheese topped with brisket burnt ends and the beef short rib, Black Angus
short rib slow-smoked and infused with bourbon and seasonal flavors
lastly, we ordered the cobbler for dessert they do ask you if you'd like the
cobbler for dessert at the beginning of the meal because it takes 40 minutes to prepare
cobbler of the Season contains baked peaches and cherries fruit nut crumble and ice cream
needless to say it was heavenly
so at the Fine Mess Smokehouse we did splurge a little more than we usually
do. for two appetizers the mac and cheese was considered a social plate one main course and a
dessert all accompanied by a couple glasses of wine, our bill was just under 100 euros
next up Elvis they have two locations one in the Gazi area and the other in Pagrati
named one of the best places in Athens for Souvlaki it's a straight shooter kind of
establishment get in order get out in the nicest way possible you'll choose
from four different skewers chicken lamb kebab cubed pork belly and pork sausage
take their meat seriously serve juicy and with a powerful punch of flavor too hot
I purchased the four different skewers and it cost me just under 10 euros
next, we're stopping by Yperokeanio which is located in the coastal area of hiatus
the menu is strongly influenced by the Greek Island's traditional cuisine so tonight we're
starting with the Greek salad of course which contains olives tomatoes onions feta cheese and
this one has some croutons in it I think each Greek salad is just a little different you'll
find here and we had some fried calamari as you can tell this is freshly freshly fried delicious
now for the show stopper a grilled cod fish
thank you
not only did we love this place but it's obvious the cats do too
you can clearly see my friend here is waiting for the rest of his party
so for our delicious dinner here at Yperokeanio accompanied by
a couple glasses of wine our total was just under 70 euros
back in the hit Pagrati neighborhood, we're stopping by Oh-MY PINSA known for the rectangular
shaped Pizza the flavor combinations mixed with quality ingredients is what lands them on my list
we spent a month in Rome trying all types of pizza and OH- MY PINSA can stand tall knowing it's some
of the best pizza we've ever had we enjoyed the prosciutto with arugula and Parmesan pizza
hmm
so my husband and I shared a pizza and a couple of beers, our bill was just under 20 euros
now for a little taste of home located in the Pysri area A Little Taste of Home offers a unique
mix of local Cuisine that includes Turkish Mediterranean European and Greek inspiration
all right until we got the papa jelly with pork and then the lamb-shrank mashed potatoes
so this is the perfect warm dish on a cold colder happens day
foreign
it's so tender it tastes like it's been cooking all day oh my God I mean
lamb is so tender so moist
delicious so for our lovely meal here at A Little Taste
of Home and a couple glasses of wine it was just about 80 Euros
now for the Marathoner's Place
if you want to experience down to earth authentic Greek food and music this is
the place. I have heard it described as an atmosphere filled with smoke but that
is no longer the case no smoking inside just good food and music
foreign
one of the best singers in Greece
for the food you can expect traditional Greek dishes but the secret weapon is a lamb chops
we also really like the zucchini balls and of course the potatoes
so for a night filled with great music and traditional Greek food we paid just 60 Euros
